  • Misc

A giant nautilus-like creature. Oums are for the most part, docile creatures, but will attack when disturbed. The muscles that make up the body in its shell allow it to roll around at will. Due to their size and sluggish nature, Oums were unfortunately hunted to near-extinction, and their indestructible shells are often sold throughout the galactic black market. They are also often seen in universal planetary museums.

Oum is not a threat, but cannot be killed. They are more of an obstacle than anything else. Watch out for their tentacles that shoot out if you get too close.

Three Oums are found in one room in the entire game. Due to their location, they are often unseen by players.
